1.0 INTRODUCTION

This user’s guide describes two automated inspection systems, oneusing the PH9 motorised probe head and the other using the PH9Amotorised probe head.

The main difference between the two types is that the PH9A has thefacility to automatically select probe combinations and extensionswithout having to requalify the probe. This 'autojoint' facility can alsobe used manually as a 'quick change' method of exchanging probecombinations.

Section 2 describes both systems and the options available. Figures1 and 2 show typical installations for the PH9 and PH9A respectively.These are followed by a description of each of the component partsand their functions.

The main part of this user's guide describes how the systems shouldbe used in manual and automatic modes. A list of possible operatingerrors is given, which is followed by specifications for the PH9 andPH9A probe heads.

Installation and programming of the systems is described in the PH9and PH9A Installation and Programming Guide (Part No. H-1000-5065).

If you require further information on options available and forthcoming,contact your Renishaw distributor.

2.0 PH9/PH9A AUTOMATED INSPECTION SYSTEM

The PH9 and PH9A automated inspection systems from Renishaware designed to enable a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) toinspect complex items from many different angles. Under control ofa CMM computer, the PH9/9A heads permit unsupervised operationusing any combination of the 720 positions available.

The heart of the system is the motorised probe head itself, which willrepeatably locate a stylus ball to within ±0.5µm of a previouslyqualified position (see Section 6.0 for specifications of the PH9 andPH9A).

Figure 3 shows the versatility of both the PH9 and PH9A probe heads.The PH9 motorised probe head can be used to inspect intricate andcomplex features, deep with a workpiece. Its compact dimensionsmean that it can often be regarded as an extension of the machinequill.

PH9/PH9A AUTOMATED INSPECTION SYSTEM


Figure 3 - PH9 and PH9A automated inspection systems

2.1Generaldescription



Figures 1 and 2 show examples of PH9 and PH9A systems. Thevarious items shown have been numbered to make the system easyto understand and follow. The following describes the componentparts of the system in numerical order.

1 StylusThe function of the stylus (see Figure 4) is to hold the ruby ball rigidlyin position while it touches a workpiece surface. It transmits amovement triggering the probe when it is deflected. An extensiverange of styli is available (see brochure H-1000-3200).

2 ProbeThe Renishaw probe (see Figure 5 ) is the most important fundamentalpart of the system. The probe is the device which signals to the CMMthat a contact has been made between the stylus ruby ball and aworkpiece surface. The precise coordinates at the point of contactcan therefore be read and stored by the CMM. (A range of probes isavailable to suit most applications, see Probing System for CoordinateMeasuring Machines Technical Specifications, Part No. H-1000-5050.)

3 Extension barExtension bars (see Figure 6) are designed primarily to extend therange and depth of probing, particularly inside large and complicatedworkpieces. The PH9 and PH9A can carry a range of extension bars(see Section 3.2).

4 PH9 and PH9A motorised probe headsThe PH9 and PH9A probe heads are designed to position a probe inany one of 720 positions in steps of 7.5°. There are 15 discretepositions through 105° in the A axis and 48 positions through ±180°in the B axis (see Figure 7).


The vast number of alternative positions means that probing can becarried out from many different angles. A high degree of positionalrepeatability is achieved every time (thus avoiding the need torequalify when the probe is returned to a previously qualified position).

The PH9/9A probe heads are controlled by three electric motors. Onedrives the A axis, one the B axis and the third locks and unlocks bothaxes. Slipping clutches are fitted to the axis motors to preventdamage to the drive system in the event of a collision during movement.The kinematic locations which position the head accurately whenlocked up are also used to detect a failure to lock correctly (datumerror), and probe crashes (overload error). Accidental rotation of thehead beyond its normal range in both axes is prevented by overtravelstops.

The main difference between PH9 and PH9A is the joint attachmentof the probe. On the PH9 swivel there is an M8 bush. Probes and/orextension bars are manually screwed into this bush before the systemis used. When different combinations of probes and/or extensions areneeded, these are changed by hand. The PH9A, however, has anautojoint (A for autojoint) which allows probes and extension bars tobe selected from the autochange rack under program control, or 'quickchanged' manually. Once the CMM has been programmed, there islittle need for any human intervention, thus taking the machine onestep closer to the fully automatic inspection system.

Figure 8 shows how the two halves of the autojoint connect togetherto give a high level of repeatability.

The signal from the touch trigger probe is routed through the contactson the autojoint into the probe head and then through the 14 pin plugat the top corner of the head to an interface via the PHC9 controller(see Figures 1 and 2).

5 Adjustment module AM1The Renishaw adjustment module AM1 shown in Figure 9 enablesaccurate alignment of any motorised probe head with the machinequill, or the alignment of the probe assembly to the workpiece. In anautochange system it must be fitted to achieve the required alignmentof the probe head with the autochange rack ports. The AM1 also hasa quick release mechanism to install and remove the attachedmotorised probe head. Limited additional overtravel protection isprovided with this module.

6 ShanksRenishaw provide an extensive range of shanks to fit most makes ofCMM. See Figure 10 for an example of a Renishaw shank.

7 CablesVarious types and lengths of cables are supplied by Renishaw.Contact Renishaw or your CMM supplier for details.

8 PHC9 Probe head controllerThe PHC9 probe head controller shown in Figure 11 receivesinstructions from the CMM computer in either serial (RS232) orparallel (IEEE488) form (note that the appropriate version must bepurchased). It controls all probe head functions and reports thesystem status to the CMM.

Software designed for the PH9/9A system is directly compatible withthat required by the PH10M system, which means that the samesoftware can be used without modification if an inspection system isupgraded from PH9/9A to PH10M.

See Section 4.4 for full details of the PHC9 probe head controller.

Figure 11 - PHC9 probe head controller



Figure 10 - Example shank


9 PHD10 Probe head drive unitThe PHD10 (see Figure 12) is a remote hand control which allows theprobe head to be used in manual mode. It is used during setting upand operator controlled inspection cycles and is an invaluable tool forprogramming using the 'teach cycle' method. The unit has fourbuttons which can be used to orientate the probe in both A and B axesin increments of 7.5°, and a T button which can be used to transmitpositional information to the controller. The position of the probe headis displayed on the drive unit in degrees. Three LEDs on the unit showthe status and error conditions.

The PHD10 supersedes the PHD9 and is functionally identical exceptthat it will drive up to 15m of cable as standard. No damage will occurif the old PHD9 is connected to the PHC9, but it will not function.

See Section 4.3 for details on how to use the PHD10 to control thesystem manually.


Figure 12 - PHD10 probe head drive unit



10 InterfacesRenishaw recommend that a suitable probe interface is used for allinstallations (both new and retrofit) to enable users to expand thesystem in the most efficient way. If interfaces in the Renishaw rangesuch as the PI4-2 or PI200 are used, different interconnection cablesmay be required.

11 Autochange rack and12 ACC2 Autochange controller (for use with PH9A only)The Renishaw autochange system is the next step towards turningthe CMM into a flexible inspection system. The capabilities of theCMM are increased to a point where there is no need for humanintervention even where very complex inspection cycles are required.It is ideal for applications where complex parts are to be inspectedautomatically and where probe types, extensions and/or accessoriesare to be changed several times. Once the machine has beenprogrammed, a great deal of time and effort can be saved, as thisautomatic probe exchange system does not require requalification ofprobes when returned to the autochange rack and subsequently re-selected.




3.0 SETTING UP THE SYSTEM

The PH9/9A is designed to be mounted in any orientation, using astandard shank to suit your machine.

The PH9/9A can also be fitted with the AM1 adjustment module (seeFigure 13). This allows fine adjustment of the head in pitch, roll andyaw, enabling the head to be accurately aligned with the machine'saxes (this is particularly important when using an autochange rack ).

The AM1 incorporates a bayonet fitting, allowing the head to be easilydetached from the machine and to be refitted.

Pitch adjustmentRotate the pitch adjusting capstan to alter the pitch.

Roll adjustmentRotate the roll adjusting capstans an equal amount in oppositedirections to alter the roll. The roll adjustment range is ±2°.

Yaw adjustment

1. Release the lock/unlock screw.

2. Release one yaw adjusting screw and tighten the other to achievethe yaw required (the yaw adjustment range is ±5°).

3. Tighten the yaw adjusting screws against each other withoutapplying excessive torque.

4. Tighten the lock/unlock screw.

Figure 15 - Autojoint

Note that the repeatability of the autojoint is such that it will locate astylus ball 50mm from the autojoint to within ±0.5µm of a previouslyqualified position.

The PH9A, on the other hand, uses an autojoint to connect probes andextensions. This can be done using the Autochange rack, or can becarried out manually as follows (see Figure 15):

1. Unlock the locking/unlocking screw using the S10 autojoint keyprovided.

2. Align the red dots one above the other and locate the two halvesof the joint together.

3. Turn the locking/unlocking screw clockwise until it locks tight.

4. Back the screwdriver slot off by approximately 5°.

The assembly is now ready for use.

To remove the extension bar assembly, undo the locking/unlockingscrew on the autojoint.

4.0 SYSTEM OPERATION

The system operates as follows:

The probe (often attached to an extension bar) is moved through thevarious angles to one of the 720 positions under CMM programcontrol.

The PH9/9A locks both axes into position, and the CMM carries out aqualification routine for this specific position. This is repeated for allthe required positions.

The system carries out the programmed inspection cycle withouthaving to requalify any of the positions. This is because of the highrepeatability factor (i.e. better than ±0.5µm at the stylus tip - seeSection 6.0 for details).

An additional error of up to ±0.5µm is possible when probe/extensioncombinations are automatically exchanged during an inspectionoperation using the PH9A.

4.1Using thePH9/9Ainspectionsystem

SYSTEM OPERATION


WARNINGPinch hazards exist between moving parts and between

moving and static parts. Do not hold the probe head duringmovements, or during manual probe changes.

Beware of unexpected movement.The user should remain outside of the full working envelope

of probe head/extension/probe combinations.

In all applications involving the use of machine tools orCMMs, eye protection is recommended.

CAUTIONThe PH9 and PH9A must only be used with PHC9 controller.

Do not attempt to interact these systems withPH10M (PHC10-2) equipment as damage may occur

and the warranty will be invalidated.

4.1.1 ChecksOnce the system has been installed, check the following points:

1. Ensure that the correct connections and settings have beenmade.

2. Check that the PH9/9A probe head and the AM1 adjustmentmodule are securely mounted.

Do not apply excessive force to any of the moving parts of the PH9 orPH9A probe head as this can cause excessive wear and/or internaldamage.

Take care to avoid a probe head collision as this could cause severedamage to the head.

SYSTEM OPERATION


4.1.2 Power-up sequenceThe order in which the various units (e.g. controller, interface etc) areswitched on is not important.

The PHC9 controller initiates the following action on the PH9/9A whenswitched on:

1. If the PH9/9A is not locked up it will go to its nearest position andlock up.

2. If the PH9/9A is locked up and the system is in manual mode,position 0,0 will be displayed on the PHD10 probe head drive unitirrespective of the actual position of the probe head. If any of thedirection buttons are pressed, the PH9/9A will first move to the 0,0position but will not lock up. Only then will it move to the positionrequested by the PHD10 probe head drive unit.

3. If the PH9/9A is locked up and the system is in automatic mode,the PH9/9A will begin to move towards the 0,0 position, but beforereaching that position, it will change direction and move to theposition requested by the CMM program.

CAUTIONRenishaw recommend that the PH9/9A completes its

program and is parked in the 0,0 position before switchingoff the power. This will prevent rapid movement of the

PH9/9A when the system is switched on again.

SYSTEM OPERATION



4.1.3 QualificationQualify the stylus on a datum sphere (see Figure 18) for each of theprobe orientations required. Store the qualification data in the CMMcomputer memory (note that for the PH9A each probe assembly to beused must be qualified).

Figure 18 - Qualification

SYSTEM OPERATION


4.1.4 InspectionWhen inspecting the component, as each probe orientation is selected,the appropriate datum must be selected from the CMM computermemory. Inspection is continuous, without the need for repeatedqualification cycles.

With the ability to orientate the probe in angular steps of 7.5°, holesor faces at any angle can be measured (see Figure 19). The maximummisalignment between stylus stem and component need only be3.75°, and this is easily accommodated by the ball stem clearance.

If it is necessary to measure the diameter of a deep hole or slot, wherethe stem clearance is insufficient, rotate the probe head through a 7.5°step. This enables inspection of the opposite face. Alternatively, anAM1 adjustment module may be used to align the head/probe/stylusassembly to the feature, but the head may not be used with autochangerack.

CAUTIONIt is essential that the CMM is programmed so that

measurements are not made during error conditions

Automatic mode is selected on power up unless the PHD10 probehead drive unit is fitted, in which case manual mode is selected.

In automatic mode the PHC9 controller and the PH9/9A probe headare under control of the CMM computer. The sequence of operationis as follows (see Figure 20):

1. Positional data for both the A and B axes is transmitted to thePHC9 controller from the CMM computer.

2. Positional update data is sent from the CMM computer to thePHC9 controller. This initiates a head move sequence. The HeadActive LED is switched on and the Head Ready LED switched off.

3. The PH9/9A unlocks, rotates to the required position in both the Aand B axes and locks in the required position.

4. A Status signal is sent to the CMM computer from the PHC9controller indicating that the move sequence is complete.

5. The Head Ready LED is switched on and the Head Active LED isswitched off.

The Status signal sent will contain information indicating any errorwhich occurred during the head move. The type of error is shown onthe front panel of the PHC9 controller (i.e. Datum Error, Obstruct Erroror Overload Error).

4.3.2 ButtonsThere are five buttons on the PHD10 probe head drive unit. The A andB buttons move the probe up (+A), down (-A), left (-B) and right (+B).

The T (Transmit) button is used to send a signal to the CMM computer.The response to this depends on the CMM computer program (e.g.,when the operator is 'teaching' the CMM computer a sequence ofpositions to follow, the T button can be pressed to signal that arequired position has been reached).

When the T button is pressed the display momentarily goes blank.This confirms that the instruction code has been successfullytransmitted (see PH9 and PH9A Installation and Programming Guide,Part No. H-1000-5065, for details of instruction codes).

WARNINGPinch hazards exist between moving parts and between

moving and static parts. Do not hold the probe head duringmovements, or during manual probe changes.

Beware of unexpected movement.The user should remain outside of the full working envelope

of probe head/extension/probe combinations.

To move the probe head in single steps:

• Momentarily press the direction button (A or B) which correspondsto the 7.5° step required.

• The head unlocks, rotates 7.5° in the axis and direction chosenand locks up again.

To move the probe head rapidly:

• Press and hold the direction button (A or B) which corresponds tothe axis and direction required.

• The head unlocks, moves one 7.5° step and after a short delayrotates at rapid speed in the direction required until either thebutton is released or the limit of rotation is reached.

• Once the button has been released and rotation has stopped,there is a short delay while the head locks up.
